There are manmade joys beyond my comprehension, too. The horrors aren’t special.

  • hearing a nostalgic song for the first time in years
  • getting lost in a good book, a good movie, a good story
  • hot chocolate and warm blankets on a cold night
  • lying in bed with someone you love
  • a good drink with good friends
  • home cooking that smells like your childhood
  • coming home

I was originally just gonna reblog because of the top tart of the post, but the clip is legitimately funnier than any stand up I've even heard, i actively cannot breathe i can't let anybody notice me laughing, lest they ask what I'm laughing about

I'm kind of glad to hear that everyone does this. Because it means it isn't colonizer bullshit, it's what everyone does. It's just people discovering new things. Everyone goes:

"Oh hey these people have their own style of [language A's word for thing. Say, what do you call it?"

"Oh it's [language B's word for thing]."

"Got it, it's [language B's word for thing] variety [language A's word for thing]"

added to which it is LITERALLY JUST LINGUISTIC SHORTHAND for 

[item] the way [culture] makes it. 

If you don’t want sliced bread, you want bread the way Eastern Indians make it you ask for Roti, not bread. Because Roti is bread THE WAY [EASTERN] INDIANS MAKE IT. Like fuck, it’s not that complicated a concept. 

OF COURSE it’s not colonizer bullshit! It’s just linguistic shorthand!

For real though:

Serve Coffee

Turn the lights up higher

Turn off the music

Start cleaning up or washing dishes

Put away drinks and food. Offer people portions of the leftovers.

Return things to their normal, non guest accommodating state (take the leaf out of the table, put away extra seating)

Thank people for coming

Discuss (in the past tense) how lovely the visit/party/gathering was

Ask people about their arrangements to get home safely

Ask people about their plans for the rest of the day/evening

Inform them of your plans for the rest of the day/evening

If your guests still won't take the hint, you're just gonna have to pretend your appendix burst or something.

I was talking to a friend, asking if they've ever experienced something I've been calling "night stupid", where, late in the evening, you're in the middle of working and suddenly (or, sometimes, gradually) you're unable to do things well--and stuff that usually makes sense stops making sense. Yanno...just a noticeable and frustrating down curve in your overall ability to preform the tasks you're working on. and my friend responds, "Tired. Bees, you're feeling tired."

it's ok you were probably night stupid when you said it.
